It’s also a fantastic non-alcoholic party drink or easy mocktail, and you can make it fizzy, slushy, or even add a splash of coconut for a twist!

 Equipment You’ll Need:

• Large pitcher
• Citrus juicer (manual or electric)
• Long stirring spoon
• Measuring cups
• Sharp knife and cutting board
• Serving glasses

 Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice (from 4–6 lemons)
• 1 cup pineapple juice (fresh or canned)
• ½ to ¾ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
• 4 cups cold water
• 1 cup ice (plus more for serving)
• Lemon slices and pineapple chunks (for garnish)
• Fresh mint leaves (optional)

 Instructions:

1. Juice the Lemons:
   Roll lemons to release the juice. Slice and juice them, removing seeds but keeping some pulp.
2. Mix Juices:
   In a large pitcher, combine lemon juice and pineapple juice. Stir well.
3. Sweeten It:
   Add ½ cup sugar and stir until fully dissolved. Taste and adjust, adding more sugar if desired.
4. Add Water & Ice:
   Pour in cold water and stir again. Add 1 cup of ice to chill instantly.
5. Serve & Garnish:
   Pour into glasses over additional ice. Garnish with lemon slices, pineapple chunks, and mint leaves.

 Pro Tips & Variations:

• Use Fresh Juice: Fresh lemon juice gives the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice is a backup, but not preferred.
• Make It Fizzy: Replace half the water with sparkling water or club soda for a bubbly lemonade.
• Blend It: Add crushed ice and blend for a frozen pineapple lemonade slushie.
• Add a Twist: A splash of coconut water or a pinch of grated ginger gives it a tropical upgrade.
• Make It a Cocktail: Add a splash of rum or vodka for an adult version at your next gathering.
